castle cliffhanger elves fantasy heartbreak humans kingdom love outsider quest romance runaway sad slowburn trapped

A princess trapped behind castle walls all her life plans an escape, desperate to see the world beyond her stone cage. Word of her disappearance spreads quickly, whispered through the castle halls and carried by riders to distant towns. The kingdom stirs with worry and rumours, though no one yet knows where she has gone or what dangers she faces.

In the midst of this chaos, she meets a stranger, an outsider who does not know her name, her title, or the secrets she carries. Together, they embark on daring quests, learning from each other. She teaches him to sew, mending his torn garments with careful, patient hands, while he shows her how to hunt, guiding her through a world she has never known. Side by side, they grow stronger, discovering not just new skills, but trust, companionship, and a closeness neither expected.

After a victorious quest and a hefty reward, they celebrate at their favourite tavern, laughter and ale carrying them into a night of bliss and unexpected love.

But the morning brings a shocking revelation. As he wakes, he sees her lying there, bare skin glowing in the soft light, until his eyes land on a single, unmistakable birthmark resting on her collarbone, a mark only the princess could bear.

Everything changes in that instant. The freedom she fought for, the bond they have built, and the love blossoming between them now hang in the balance. What happens when the truth is finally revealed?All Rights Reserved

The Cursed Prince by 00reader6002

In a kingdom where curses are more than mere fairy tales, an ancient castle stands hidden behind walls of dark thorns, forgotten by all but the bravest and the most foolish. For within those shadowed halls slumbers a prince cursed by his own heart's betrayal. Once a ruler feared for his power and beauty, he now lies in a spellbound sleep, imprisoned by a vengeful sorceress who demanded a price for his cruelty: eternal rest, unless someone awakens him and binds their fate to his. Mira has never believed in fairy tales. Life in her village is one of harsh reality, where survival depends on wit and willpower. But when her family's future hangs in the balance, she's driven to the one place her people have always feared. Rumors of a sleeping prince and a curse that can be broken are all she has to go on, yet desperation leaves her no choice. But awakening the prince sets a far greater plan in motion, and the darkness she thought she'd face is only the beginning. Now, bound to a prince whose shadows dance with danger and desire, Mira must learn to navigate a world of magic, betrayal, and a fate that pulls them both toward something neither can escape. The only question is, who will break first-the girl with fire in her veins or the prince whose heart has long since turned to stone?

BOOK 1: Marked by Flame ( Currently Editing) by FableForge20

*****BOOK ONE****** Set in a continent called Irevalen, where the skies are ruled by dragon-shifters - immortal beings who can take human form, but never fully shed their beast. Centuries ago, a Blood Treaty was made between dragons and the last surviving human kingdom. To maintain balance and peace, a dragon from the royal bloodline must bond with a human every 500 years - not just a marriage, but a soul-binding, deep magic deal that ensures dragons don't destroy the mortal realm with their fire and fury. The catch? The human bride is always chosen by fate. No one picks. No one can refuse. Or so they say. --- 🔥 The Male Lead: Kaelith Vyron, the current heir to the SKYCOURT throne - feared warrior, emotionless strategist, and cold-blooded dragon prince. Has rejected the idea of love his whole life. Is terrified of what the soul-bond might do to him (dragons who bond can be consumed by obsession). Is pissed that fate tied him to a weak, mortal girl. Thinks she'll break. Plans to scare her off. But she doesn't. And it wrecks him. --- 🕊️ The Female Lead: Liora Vane, 22-year-old healer's apprentice from the far southern coast. Orphaned young. Grew up with books, herbs, and freedom. Hates the idea of fate deciding who she marries. Thinks dragons are cruel, inhuman monsters. When she's taken from her village and presented to Kaelith, she fights back - hard. Swears she'll never belong to him. But then... she sees pieces of his humanity. And it terrifies her more than the fire ever did.

Crown of Shadows by aadrikawrts

She is elegant, strong, and carries a past no one knows-a childhood shadowed by loss, heartbreak, and sacrifices that shaped her into a woman both graceful and guarded. He is a prince, cold and untouchable to the world, carrying secrets of his own, a life dictated by duty, rules, and the crown he never chose. When their paths cross, the world outside stops making sense. She doesn't know he's royalty, and he hides behind a mask of distance, but neither can ignore the pull growing between them. In a palace of whispers, hidden agendas, and family intrigues, every glance, every touch, and every unspoken word becomes a battlefield of desire and restraint. As past wounds resurface, old secrets threaten to destroy them, and everyone around them seems to have an opinion about what love should be, can two hearts that have known pain and sacrifice find their way to each other? Or will the shadows of their pasts keep them apart forever? A story of slow-burning romance, royal intrigue, hidden identities, and love that fights its way through every obstacle.

Royal Scandal by storiesbyaprincess

One night. One mistake. One heir to the throne. Alina Evercrest is the youngest and only daughter of a noble house-kind, sharp-eyed, and devoted to a life far from royal intrigue. But after her coming-of-age celebration at the palace ends with her waking in the Crown Prince's bed, everything changes. Especially when whispers start, and her monthly cycle doesn't come. Prince Caelum is feared across the realm-lethal in war, ruthless in court, and entirely untouchable. He never intended to be tied down, especially not to the soft-hearted noble girl who's too clever for her own good. But the night they shared wasn't a scandal. It was fate. As tensions rise and enemies circle, Alina is thrust into the heart of royal power, where secrets burn and trust is rare. But she's not just surviving-she's outsmarting, outshining, and unshakably loyal to the man the world calls a monster... yet who worships her in the quiet. When love deepens, so does the danger. Because in a world built on bloodlines, politics, and power, nothing is safe-not even the child they never meant to create. He would kill for her. She would fight kingdoms for him. Together, they'll burn the old world to build their own.

Between Death and Destiny by RayneRileyMoon

One moment, Elenora was crossing a city street. The next, she was dying. And then-impossibly-she was somewhere else entirely. Aetherea is a realm of breathtaking magic and devastating beauty, where three powerful kingdoms stand on the brink of collapse. Rifts are tearing through reality, allowing vengeful spirits and death wraiths to pour into the world of the living. Every attempt to seal them has failed. Until a human woman with bronze-auburn hair and eyes like molten gold falls through a rift herself-alive, aware, and crackling with a power no one understands. Elenora shouldn't exist. Souls don't cross between realms intact. But she did, and now three kings will stop at nothing to protect her and understand why she's the key to saving their dying world. Draeven, the dragon king whose crimson scales and ancient wisdom make him the strategist she needs. Kieran, the werewolf alpha whose protective instincts and fierce devotion make her feel safer than she's ever been. Alaric, the fae king whose emotional insight and devastating magic help her process the impossible grief of losing everything she knew. The bond forming between them is undeniable and unprecedented-a Triad Bond connecting three souls to one. As Elenora learns to seal rifts that have plagued Aetherea for generations, she realizes her death was never an ending. It was an awakening. But to save this realm, she must let go of any hope of return and embrace a destiny she never asked for-one where she's loved by three kings, powerful enough to heal a dying world, and brave enough to become the woman she was always meant to be. A lush fantasy romance featuring slow-burn reverse harem, dragon shifters, and a heroine who discovers true strength through healing.
